Club Trip To Uppsala August 2023

Dear Striders. Over the years we've had many very successful club trips. Before the world came to a grinding halt a couple of years ago I'd organised a trip to Sweden which of course was cancelled. I'd like to try this again for next year.

Club Trip to Sweden (Uppsala) - 6 lakes – 6 sjöar 2023 www.6sjoar.se/en

19^th August 2023

5.50 Km 23 EUR 10.50 Km 37 EUR Half Marathon 59 EUR Marathon 68 EUR

Proposed dates:

Friday, 18/08/23 – Monday, 21/08/23

Flights:

lastminute.com Friday, 18 August 09:45 Manchester (T1) direct 13:05 Stockholm (ARN) Arlanda (T5) Monday, 21 August 18:00 Stockholm (ARN) Arlanda (T5) direct 19:25 Manchester (T2) £208.92

Accommodation:

Grand Hotell Hörnan www.grandhotellhornan.com

3 nights (total)

Single room £350 Double room £420 Twin bed £402

We’ll also need transfers to and from Manchester airport. Once we know numbers, we can get this sorted.

I have looked at flights from Leeds Bradford, but the times and costs didn’t make an attractive option. It would be good to hear people's thoughts on this.

The hotel is the one recommended by the race organisers and the prices didn’t look that bad. Again, good to hear people's thoughts on this.

The races are fairly low-key events all on trails with undulating paths around the six lakes in and around Fjällnora.

As far as booking, better to book sooner rather than later as prices go up the longer we wait. I’ll start a whatsapp group when people show interest so pass me your details and I will add you to it. Once we have enough people interested, we can confirm the details and book the flights, hotel and race.

Of course, you don’t have to do any of the above and just meet us in the bar in Uppsala.

Away Runs

Parkrun York 11th February 2023

This is a very flat 1.5x loop on tarmac and is one of the fastest parkrun courses in the UK. All running abilities are more than welcome to join in and I'm sure there will be a few pbs.

It's just over an hour away so we'll meet at Nuffield for 7:30am. Let me know if you're interested. We can organise car sharing on the morning. Don't forget to wear your club vest.

Orsted Great Grimsby 10k 4th June 2023

Entries open 1st January 2023

PECO'S!

Races 1&2 are now complete. 34 Striders turned out for leg 2 at Temple Newsam, and braved a bitterly cold day to turn in some very good performances on bone hard frosty ground. The results of the race can be found in the section towards the end of this newsletter.

These runs are great fun, and no matter how fast or slow you are, you may score points for the team. We always have a good turnout, and there's definitely chocolate at the end!

Lift sharing is available from Nuffield Shipley, and details of this will be published on the Facebook page nearer the race.

The remaining races are as follows:

Race 3 Sunday 22nd January, West Park/Becketts Park
Race 4 Sunday 19th February, Middleton Park
Race 5 Sunday 5th March, Roundhay Park
Relays TBA

Claire Thaper getting stuck in at Peco 2 Middleton Park, why wouldn't you want to do this??

Park Run Review of 2022 by Tim Mosedale

A look back at Striders parkrunning in 2022...

It is amazing to read the statistics for the year. More than 2,000 runs by current members of the club (without the bad weather weekends we'd have reached 2,022 in 2022 - that's a target for this year!), at 188 different parkrun locations. I know personally that all of my parkruns this year were hard work or good fun (or sometimes both) - so this is an awesome total amount of effort and smiles from the club.
The amazing Reyhana Laher participated at every opportunity - 54 times! Other chronic parkrunners amongst us - Martin Fillingham and Ian Jenkins clocked up 48 and Judith Nunn 46. parkrun is more about participation than times, but 26 of us ran a parkrun PB this year, great PBs spread from 35:28 to 16:19.
Joining milestone clubs is a great achievement - this year Jenny Shaw, Pawel Tryc, James French, Clare Taylor, Craig Elliott, Reece Smith, Joanne Hardaker, Janet Bower, and Carolyn Rix all joined the purple 25 club; Laurence Crummay did that and ran all the way through to the red 50 club along with Tom Kay, Gary Western, Kris Hale, Linda White, Sheila Bugg, Keith Jump, Liz Hamilton, Lindsey Pearson, and David Fox. Joining the black 100 club we had Norman Saldanha, Mick Brealey, and Andrew Pine, and lastly earning their green 250 shirt we've had Mick Jones, Tim Mosedale, Franks Masley and Beecroft, and Barney Lerner.
As always it's a shame that I can't get the same stats on volunteering, so Ill give a Thank You Marshal to everyone who has volunteered at parkrun this year.
And I hope I've not missed anyone! If I have, let me or David know and I'll work out how to get you onto the stats for 2023. Happy 2023 parkrunning!

November Strider of the Month

Congratulations to the November SOTM, which is Mike Moss!

As Bradford park runs event director, Mike rarely gets to run a parkrun. He did however get the chance to run one in Whitby at The Cinder Track while on holiday recently, but lost about 3 minutes from his time by stopping to offer additional support to those helping a fallen runner. A true example, looking out for others!

All previous winners of the Strider of the Month can be found on the club website.

The next committee meeting will be on Tuesday January 10th 2023. If you have anything which you wish to be discussed please contact or speak to any member of the committee.
